Welcome to BBC One on a Thursday night

for an action-packed Top Of The Pops.

We've got Shalamar to kick off with over here at number 19 with Friends.

# Friends

# I've got friends

# Friends

# I've got friends

# Don't you be ashamed of how you feel when someone

# Lends you a helping hand

# Because the bottom line is being for real

# In every way that you can

# Ask yourself, after all that you've learned

# Would you do the same thing if the tables were turned

# Well, my answer is yes

# Cos I've been through the test, now I'll never forget my

# Friends, you can bet

# I've got friends, my values are with my

# Friends

# I've got friends

# And not the fair weather kind

# Whenever I am feeling down and out, they help me

# Get through the rainy day

# They lift my spirits and erase my doubts then

# Chase those grey clouds away

# If I had a dollar for every time

# That they have stood by my side helping things turn out right

# I would be a millionaire

# And my wealth they would share cos I'd be nowhere without my

# Friends, I'm so glad

# I've got friends, my values are with my

# Friends, I'll tell you I

# I've got friends and not the fair weather kind

# Don't you be ashamed of how you feel when someone

# Lends you a helping hand

# Because the bottom line is being for real

# In every way that you can

# Ask yourself, after all that you've learned

# Would you do the same thing if the tables were turned?

# Well, my answer is yes

# Cos I've been through the test, now I'll never forget my

# Friends, I'm so glad

# I've got friends, my values are with my

# Friends, I'll tell you I

# I've got friends and not the fair weather kind

# Friends

# I've got friends

# Friends

# I've got friends

A good way to start Top Of The Pops, with Friends.

Every year, one gimmick record gets in the charts

around about Christmas time - here's Renato.

# Save your love my darling, save your love

# For summer nights with moon and stars above

# A serenade I long to sing you

# The reddest rose I always bring you

# Save your love for Roma and for me

# Darling I will love you endlessly

# Even though you're far away from me

# I can't forget the words I told you

# How it felt to love and hold you

# Love like ours will last eternally

# Save your love my darling, save your love

# For summer nights with moon and stars above

# A serenade I long to sing you

# The reddest rose I always bring you

# Save your love for Roma and for me

# Even though it's been so very long

# The memory of our love still lingers on

# I can't wait to hold and kiss you

# Don't you know how much I miss you

# Darling sing for me our lovers' song

# Salva l'amore cara, salva l'amore

# Le notte d'estate, la luna e le stelle la su

# A serenade I long to sing you

# The reddest rose I always bring you

# Salva l'amore per Roma e per me

-# La la-la la-la la-la la-la

-Io ti amo caro

-# La-la la-la la-la la-la la-la

-I love you

# I can't wait to hold and kiss you

# Don't you know how much I miss you

# Darling, sing for me our lovers' song

# Save your love my darling, save your love

# Oh you know that I will

# For summer nights with moon and stars above

# Oh I love you still

# A serenade I long to sing you

# The reddest rose I always bring you

# Save your love for Roma and for me. #

That has got to be your ideal Latin lover.

Would you buy a sweater from that man?

Renee and Renato there and here are Vince and Alf

on The Other Side Of Love, it's Yazoo.

# I know a good dance when the mood is right

# You can do it by day, you can do it by night

# It can be so fine and you'll agree

# If you just do what comes naturally now

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# There's plenty of ways we can do that thing

# We can fool around till we get that swing

# Do what you want, honey, we don't mind

# Just make sure that you stay in time now

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby

# I know a good dance when the mood is right

# You can take it slow cos we've got all night

# It can be so fine and you'll agree

# If you just do what come naturally now

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby, it's the other side of love

# Baby, baby

# It's the other side of love

# It's the other side of love

# It's the other side of love. #

Yazoo on The Other Side Of Love.

Shakin' Stevens has just produced a single in time for Christmas.

It's an EP, not a single, and here's the title cut,

it's Blue Christmas and here's Shaky on Top Of The Pops.

# I'll have a blue Christmas without you

# I'll be so blue just thinking about you

# Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

# Won't be the same if you're not here with me

# And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'

# That's when those blue memories start callin'

# You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

# But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

# You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

# But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

# And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'

# That's when those blue memories start callin'

# You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

# But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas. #

-That's Shakin' Stevens. It's amazing the people that turn up on Top Of The Pops. Welcome, Junior.

-Hello.

Why aren't you producing records? Are you recording at the moment?

-Yes, I am.

-Look forward to it after the New Year.

Now here's Culture Club and Time, The Clock Of The Heart.

# Don't put your head on my shoulder

# Sink me in a river of tears

# This could be the best place yet

# But you must overcome your fears

# In time we could've been so much more

# But time is precious I know

# In time we could've been so much more

# The time has nothing to show because

# Time won't give me time

# And time makes lovers feel

# Like they've got something real

# But you and me we know

# We got nothing but time

# And time won't give me time

# Won't give me time

# Time, time

# Time, time

# Time, time

# Don't make me feel any colder

# Time is like a clock in my heart

# Touch we touch, was the heat too much?

# I felt I lost you from the start

# In time we could've been so much more

# But time is precious I know

# In time we could've been so much more

# The time has nothing to show because

# Time won't give me time

# And time makes lovers feel

# Like they've got something real

# But you and me we know

# We've got nothing but time

# And time won't give me time

# Won't give me time

# Time, time

# Time, time

# Time, time

# In time we could've been so much more

# But time is precious I know

# In time we could've been so much more

# The time has nothing to show because

# Time won't give me time

# And time makes lovers feel

# Like they've got something real

# But you and me we know

# We've got nothing but time

# And you know time won't give me time

# And time makes lovers feel

# Like they've got something real

# But you and me we know... #

Culture Club and Time, The Clock Of The Heart.

There are quite a few singles around at the moment that have really great lyrics.

Here's one that's just the bee's knees because it applies to almost everybody.

It's Lionel Richie and Truly.

# Girl, tell me only this

# That I'll have your heart for always

# And you want me by your side

# Whispering the words I'll always love you

# And forever

# I will be your lover

# And I feel if you really care

# I will always be there

# Now I need to tell you this

# There's no other love like your love

# And I, as long as I live

# I'll give you all the joy

# My heart and soul can give

# Let me hold you

# I need to have you near me

# And I feel with you in my arms

# This love will last forever

# Because I'm truly

# Truly in love with you, girl

# I'm truly head over heels with your love

# I need you

# And with your love I'm free

# And truly

# You know you're all right

# With me. #

That's beautiful. It's Lionel Richie and Truly, and it's in the charts.

And talking about the charts, let's start looking at them,

from number 30.

Cry Boy Cry.

If You Can't Stand The Heat.

It's Raining Again.

You Can't Hurry Love.

Maneater.

Theme From Harry's Game.

Buffalo Gals.

Mad World.

Little Drummer Boy.

Where The Heart Is.

# Atmospheres are tense today

# Mother and father are rowing again

# Silently seated around the table

# You're the one that's getting the blame

# Father looks at you like a snake

# You play with the food upon your plate

# No-one seems to be on your side

# Things that threaten to hurt your pride

# Mother loves to be concerned

# Using lessons that she learned

# Fathers never understand

# When children have the upper hand

# Smiling, you did your time at school

# Crying quietly like a fool

# Saturday night and Sunday morning

# Did all the things they asked you to do

# They say that home is where the heart is

# But home is only where the hurt is

# Pull the wool over the eyes

# Forget the worries that you started

# Mother loves to be concerned

# Using lessons that she learned

# Fathers never understand

# When children have the upper hand

# When you stayed out every night

# The first time from your parents' sight

# They started to show some concern

# But by then it was too late

# Feel it's time to pull away

# Shut your ears to all they say

# Be yourself, you know it's true

# When in the end what's left is you

# Mother loves to be concerned

# Using lessons that she learned

# Fathers never understand

# When children have the upper hand

# Mother loves to be concerned

# Using lessons that she learned

# Fathers never understand

# When children have the upper hand. #

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# All the things that I care about

# Are packed into one punch

# All the things that I'm not sure about

# And as it was in the beginning

# So shall it be in the end

# It just goes by different names

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# All the things that I shout about

# But never act upon

# All the courage and the dreams I have

# My doubt is cast aside

# Watch phonies run to hide

# The dignified don't even enter in the game

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# And if you feel there's no passion

# No quality sensation

# Seize the young determination

# Show the fakers you ain't foolin'

# You'll see me come runnin'

# To the sound of your strummin'

# Fill my heart with joy and gladness

# I've lived too long in the shadows of sadness

# My doubt is cast aside

# Watch phonies run to hide

# The dignified don't even enter in the game

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# You keep me running round and round

# Well, that's all right with me

# I'm up the bloody tree

# That's all right with me

# Yeah, that's all right with me

# Well, it feels all right to me

# Yeah, it looks all right to me

# And, I'm so tall, I'm so tall

# You raise me and then you let me fall

# And I'm so small, I'm so small

# Wrap me round your finger, see me fall

# Here we go

# You keep me running round and round

# Well, that's all right with me
